The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows: Version where: x the first digit: 1 presented to TSG for information;. 2 presented to TSG for approval;. 3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control. y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, technical enhancements, corrections, updates, etc.

9 Z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document. ETSI. 3 GPP TS version Release 7 6 etsi ts 129 214 (2008-04). 1 Scope The present document provides the stage 3 specification of the Rx reference point for the present release. The functional requirements and the stage 2 specifications of the Rx reference point are contained in 3 GPP TS [7]. The Rx reference point lies between the Application Function and the Policy and Charging Rule Function. Whenever it is possible the present document specifies the requirements for the protocol by reference to specifications produced by the IETF within the scope of Diameter. Where this is not possible, extensions to Diameter are defined within the present document.
